Yes but the rest of us are left out with no decent frontend.

I'm going to start hacking on PowerAdmin and I'll make my
efforts available from a Git repo within a few weeks. I'm
not suggesting my hack will be in any way usable, just a
start at bringing that codebase up to my needs...

 . PDO with SQLite as the default
 . good CSS and possibly XHTML compliant (or close)
 . AJAX aware using jQuery
 . multihosting off a single codebase
 . above means using a single frontend controller
 . *NO* addon template system or MVC based framework

My alterations may be too radical for most other folks so
I have just imported poweradmin-1.2.7-patched.tar.gz into...

 http://pdnsadmin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

which can be pulled by anyone using...

 svn co http://pdnsadmin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pdnsadmin

and more importantly, if anyone wants update permissions,
and already has or doesn't mind getting getting a Google
ID (including for Gmail etc), then just email me that ID
and I'll add you as a member of the project. All svn
updates go to this Google group which also means an RSS
feed is available for all changes.

 http://groups.google.com.au/group/pdnsadmin

Took me all of 15 minutes to setup.
